Built in 1878, the A-listed Glasgow Central Post Office was the city's postal headquarters until 1995; in 1999, it was bought by Stefan King's G1 leisure group with plans to turn it into a 5-star hotel, but this fell through, and it was sold again in 2005 to partners AWG and HF Developments, for conversion into office space.

Conversion is now almost complete - the facade has been retained, with a new interior built and a new steel cupola. Future Glasgow's brilliant website has images of what the building will look like:
